BLK Dating App celebrates Pride Month 2024 with new campaign “It’s Giving Space: Celebrating Queer Event Curators and Entrepreneurs”
BLK’s 2024 Pride Month campaign represents a pivotal initiative that celebrates and amplifies the influence of key figures within the Black LGBTQ+ community.

BLK Dating App, the world’s largest dating and lifestyle app for the Black community, is celebrating Pride Month 2024 with its new campaign, “It’s Giving Space: Celebrating Queer Event Curators.”
BLK Dating App Pride Month 2024 campaign
The campaign, created in partnership with author, podcast host, and BLK Advocacy Council member, Sesali Bowen, focuses on Black event curators in cities across the country.
By integrating engaging content, social media, in-real-life (IRL) events, with this initiative, BLK strives to inspire and honor the authentic, diverse expressions of being Black, Proud, and Queer.
Featured collective
The initiative spotlights the compelling stories of three LGBTQ+ party collectives:
- Party Noire (Chicago): Celebrates Black femmes, Queer Women of Color, and Black womanhood through events and community activities.
- Global Warming (Brooklyn): Focuses on uplifting Black and Brown queer and trans folks, providing safe and joyful spaces.
- Lesbians in Houston (Houston): Creates safe spaces for queer women in a conservative state, hosting vibrant nightlife events.
The campaign will not only highlight their contributions but also address the cultural challenges that contribute to the underrepresentation of Black queer spaces.
